Hi All
Anybody any ideas on this please...
I have started editing a super 8 film using Movie Maker. The film is a digital copy from a VHS tape and so has no "scenes" in it. It starts off as one segment i.e one big scene, with the first frame visible. I can cut the film at various points to create new scenes each with their visible frame and overlap as required to create dissolves. So far so good...
This works fine and seems not to have any problems until on some occasions when I adjust an overlap and replay the film from a previous point to see the dissolve effect, I find one of the segments (not always the one I have dragged to overlap) simply plays as a black section. If I use the backarrow to go back a step the section plays OK as it did before although, of course the overlap has been cancelled. If I make a slight adjustment to the overlap this sometimes allows the sections to play correctly but not always and it seems that some sections simply can't be overlapped without producing a "black" one somewhere in the playback.
Further to this, I have added the soundtrack as a separate .wav file copied directly from the film stripe (using X-OOM MUSIC CLEAN) as this needs to be independantly edited.
Although I would have thought that the wav file is separate from the film at this point in WMM it seems not as if I cut/lengthen or shorten or copy/paste sections of sound in to match the "edited" film that is visible on the upper track (which at this point I have got to play OK), moving the sound track about also causes film sections to go "black" for some reason.
This the second film I have re-done and it was a fight to get the first one to behave as I wanted...
Has anybody hqad similar experiences or any idea why this is happening.
Phil
